One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in a wide-ranging election-fraud case in Georgia remained behind bars on Friday, after he told a judge that he could not afford a private attorney to represent him and was denied bond.

Harrison Floyd said at his first court appearance that he could not afford a private lawyer and had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify.

Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.

    Trust the process. They are going to keep putting the squeeze on all of them until enough flip to fry the big guy.

    NOBODY wants to spend the rest of their life in prison. I don’t care how loyal you are, when the reality sets in that’s what’s going to happen if they don’t cooperate they will break for cover and they will “eat each other” to try and get the best deal possible.

      The alphabet agencies get organised crime members to flip.

      It’s going to be a walk in the park getting these idiots to turn on each other once the screws are turned.

      I hope so, but I don’t see trump behind bars. Even the Dems don’t want that, as it sets a precedent that the elite is able to be brought to justice.
